Hoewel het niet zo charmant is om een album een half jaar na verschijnen te bespreken, voel ik me in dit geval niet zo schuldig. Not So Loud. An Acoustic Evening With The Bottle Rockets bevat namelijk opnames uit 2007....
Hellraising fans of the raucous electric Bottle Rockets live show may be taken aback by the stripped down revisitations here, but the snapshots of life and love on Not So Loud are all the more poignant in stripped-down form. While the Midwestern heartland of America has been a hotbed of roots rock for decades, it has also proved to be somewhat of a musical Bermuda Triangle.

The alt-country band's lead singer Brian Henneman talks about their new live album.
As summer begins to wind down to a close (already?!), the number of new releases each week starts to increase gradually the closer we get to the Christmas holiday. Oh my God, we're seriously like only about four months away from Christmas - that's just nuts.
